^^^ Judging from the construction photos compared with the renderings (particularly the horizontal mullions in the window wall), it looks like the white glass of the long sides of the balconies will extend over the window wall which will be a nice design detail that luckily didn't get axed.
This will really accentuate the unique spikey patterning of the alternating balconies on the tower. Looking forward to see more of this.
The only concern is how this window film is going to be applied as the window wall glass is tinted. Applied on the inside it will not have the brightness of the balcony glass and will appear more blue. Interesting to note that these panels of the window wall where it should be white in the renderings seems to be faintly frosted on the inside (as seen in the close-up photos in the previous page).

I feel slightly dirty saying this - but there is something heroic about these block spanning buildings with facades that doesn't pretend otherwise. Toronto has a bereft of this done well.

Yes. That's why I love that big, long Wilson proposal so much.

And I think I can sit and admire this view for ages:
For all the complaints about Aqualina, the emergent dialogue on the eastern edge of Sherbourne Park is enchanting. @ADRM photo captured it perfectly

Monde is so well designed that it actually makes Aqualina look even better.

The sum is greater than its parts. I can't wait to see how the old Fedex site and new GBC project will complete the enclosure - FYI, the latter will be coming up at the WT DRP meeting next Wednesday:
